It is the day when Sripada Srivallabha left the physical abode and reached the divine abode. It falls on the Dwadashi day which comes prior to Dhanteras and Deepavali.

Sri Sripada Vallabha, also known as Shripad Shri Vallabha swamy, is believed as one of the divine incarnations of Lord Dattatreya (Dattavatara).

He was born in Pithapuram, a town in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh on Bhadrapad Shukla Chaturthi (1320 AD).

Sri Sripada Vallabha was born in Chitra nakshatram, Simha (Leo) lagna, and Tula raasi (Libra zodiac) to Appalaraja Sarma and Sumati couple. Throughout his life, he distributed the divine words of Dattatreya and wrote many verses on the Lord. Most of his life he stayed at Kurvapur or Kuravapura in Karnataka.
